ReplyDeleteI never could post a comment on No. 5, namely that 1. Qf6 with threats on f7 & h8 should have been discussed.
Have you seen http://www.chesstempo.com to test your tactics?
Thanks for letting me know. I've fixed the blogger settings so that you can post now, and I've updated the analysis of these tactics to include additional moves.
